Chapter 886: Vanguard Troops March Out (Part 1)

Su Cheng, who knew that it was because of his lateness that Alyssa was so angry, hurriedly apologized to Alyssa.

"I'm sorry! I was wrong! I shouldn't have been so late!"

"Humph."

After a cold "humph" with her nose, Alyssa finally turned around and faced Su Cheng.

"You also know that you are late? Do you know how long I have been waiting for you?"

"About 1 and a half hours..."

"It's good that you know."

After that, Alyssa pulled the quilt, turned around again, and turned her back to Su Cheng.

"I want to sleep alone tonight, you go back to your and Alan's big tent tonight."

"Alyssa..." Su Cheng said bitterly, "Listen to my explanation, I have my reasons."

After that, Su Cheng explained what he had been doing just now in the simplest words possible.

From telling Alan a bedtime story, all the way to Deng Jiaer coming back to find him.

After learning that Deng Jiaer had returned, Alyssa turned around again and cast a puzzled look at Su Cheng.

"Why did Deng Jiaer return to the main force?"

As soon as Alyssa finished speaking, Su Cheng explained to Alyssa the reason why Deng Jiaer came back and told her Deng Jiaer's strategy to meet the enemy.

After listening to Deng Jiaer's strategy to meet the enemy, Alyssa's face showed a strong surprise.

"Deng Jiaer plans to use this strategy and her vanguard troops to meet the reinforcements of the Holy Xilan Empire?"

"No matter how you think about this strategy, it's too messy, right?"

"Su Cheng, do you agree with Deng Jiaer's strategy?"

"Yes." Su Cheng nodded, "I agree."

"Deng Jiaer has gone down to rest now. Tomorrow morning she will return to the vanguard camp and lead the vanguard troops to the enemy position she has chosen."

"You agreed?" Alyssa exclaimed.

Alyssa, who was extremely surprised, lifted the thin quilt on her body and sat up from the bed.

"Su Cheng, what are you thinking about?"

"There is a more reliable strategy, but you don't choose it. Instead, you choose the most risky one."

"Shouldn't the most reliable strategy to meet the enemy now be to let the main force and the vanguard unit join forces, and gather all the combat power of the East Route Army to meet the reinforcements of the Holy Xilan Empire?"

"I don't deny that Deng Jiaer's strategy is feasible."

"But in terms of safety, Deng Jiaer's strategy is far inferior to the strategy of letting the main force and the vanguard unit join forces."

Alyssa wanted to say something else.

But Su Cheng had raised his hand to stop her.

"Don't worry, I have definitely considered all your concerns."

"But after weighing the pros and cons, I decided to let Deng Jiaer try it."

"After all, you have to leave some stage for others so that they can grow up."

"I decided to believe in Deng Jiaer."

"I believe Deng Jiaer will win."

"Just like Deng Jiaer himself believes that his strategy will succeed."

"Hmm..." Alyssa looked up and down at Su Cheng with a complicated look.

Then he lay down again and covered himself with the quilt again.

"Forget it, you are the commander-in-chief of the entire army, you can arrange it however you want."

"It's late, go to bed."

After hearing what Alyssa said, Su Cheng raised his eyebrows slightly.

"Alyssa."

Su Cheng asked carefully, "Then... are you forgiving me for being late?"

"Yes." Alyssa, who was curled up in the quilt, nodded gently, "Since you really have something to do, then I will forgive you this time."

"Thank you for your understanding!"

Seeing that Alyssa forgave him, Su Cheng felt relieved.

While thanking Alyssa, he took off his clothes as quickly as possible.

After taking off all his clothes except for one single piece of clothing and getting into the quilt, Alyssa suddenly said:

"But - I won't do that kind of thing tonight."

"......???" Su Cheng looked at Alyssa with a confused face.

Su Cheng, whose brain was not able to react for a moment, asked Alyssa who was lying beside him blankly:

"What do you mean?"

"It means literally." Alyssa said unhappily, "Do you know what time it is now?"

"I am really sleepy now."

"I don't have the energy and mood to do that kind of thing anymore."

"Forget about tonight, let's talk about it next time."

"Eh..." Su Cheng was still in a state of confusion.

"What for?" Alyssa cast an unhappy look at Su Cheng, "Will you feel unhappy if you can't do that kind of thing when you are with me?"

"No, no, no!"

Under the influence of the desire to survive, Su Cheng hurriedly said:

"Don't say I am with you, just when I glance at you, I can't help but curl up the corners of my mouth because of happiness."

"Since Alyssa, you don't have the mood and energy, forget it."

"Let's go to bed obediently."

"You are good at talking."

After that, Alyssa squeezed into Su Cheng's arms and tucked her little head into Su Cheng's right shoulder.

I don’t know if it was Su Cheng’s illusion—Su Cheng seemed to see a cunning look in Alyssa’s eyes, like a naughty child.

Alyssa shrunk into Su Cheng’s arms, and Su Cheng subconsciously hugged Alyssa’s body tightly.

Holding the flexible body in his arms that was constantly transmitting warmth, Su Cheng couldn’t help but smile bitterly.

Alyssa's closeness to Su Cheng made Su Cheng even more uncomfortable...

Su Cheng couldn't help wondering - was Alyssa doing it on purpose?

She said she forgave him, but she didn't forgive him at all. She deliberately let him into the bed, but didn't let him do the thing he had been looking forward to for a long time, torturing and punishing him in this way...

Whether Alyssa had this idea or not, tonight was destined to be a very difficult night for Su Cheng to fall asleep...

...

...

The next morning, just after dawn, Deng Jiaer led the guards she brought with her on the road again and returned to the camp of the vanguard.

When Deng Jiaer just left the camp of the main force, Su Cheng, who was in a bad mood due to poor sleep quality last night, began to command the main force to break camp and set off.

The destination of the main force was the city of Fuka, to take over the original task of the vanguard to siege Fuka, so that the vanguard could free up to fight against the reinforcements of the Holy Xilan Empire.

The distance between the two armies was not far. Deng Jiaer set off in the early morning and returned to the camp of the vanguard at dusk.

After learning that Deng Jiaer had returned, Samuel hurriedly led the few knights in the vanguard to greet Deng Jiaer outside the camp.

After seeing Deng Jiaer, before Samuel had time to greet Deng Jiaer, whom he hadn't seen for a long time, Deng Jiaer took the lead and said directly:

"Mr. Samuel, please help me pass the order - let all troops prepare to break camp and go out. We will leave here around noon tomorrow."

"Go out?" Samuel asked in confusion, "Where are we going?"

"To meet the reinforcements of the Holy Xilan Empire." Deng Jiaer said in a firm and decisive tone, "Our vanguard troops will meet and defeat the reinforcements of the Holy Xilan Empire!"
